In modern imported soldering irons, the problem of overheating is often identified. And in domestic, sometimes underheating is observed, it is also observed during voltage landing. In this article I will tell you how to solve these problems and also make soldering more comfortable. Using the soldering station, you can work with a large voltage drop, quickly heat the soldering iron and set any temperature you need. So, let's transgress. For a long time I searched the Internet for the simplest station diagram. All in the end they were difficult to perform. The thing ended up being my own.
Soldering Station Diagram:
Simple soldering station

We will need:
1. Dimer. (any will do). It is also called a dimmer.
2. The diode bridge.
3. Case. (wooden or plastic box). It is best to buy a ready-made housing in an electrician.
4. Socket.
5. A plug with a wire.

Let's start with the dimer. Since the case of the dimer is very large, I recommend disassembling it, leaving only the circuit itself. The pen can be replaced, as in my case, you can leave your own.






As a case, I decided to take a box from under the Soviet switch. Since there was no cover, I made mine from plywood.



Now you need to assemble everything according to the scheme. Install a power outlet, plug.




For beauty, I recommend painting the item.




Here is the end result.



I WISH SUCCESS !!!

    Sorry, I saw on your photos it seems like Condors and something else, but they are not in the diagram you presented. Can someone tell me where and why?

    Yes, something is unclear everything is stated. Do you have a soldering iron, does it work from a constant voltage ??? ("EXIT" in the diagram). Dmitry: there are no conders in the circuit, they are in the dimmer itself. and the dimmer assembly is included in the author circuit break. Only the author did not indicate again where the connection points are for the Dismantled dimmer. PS: and the simplest lotion from overheating is a ready-made power cord with a plug and a “twist” in the break of the cord. Such are sold in radio stores, in household ones (they are mainly used to work together with sconces, floor lamps, etc., to adjust the incandescent lamp)

    and it is possible to assemble without a diode bridge or which diode bridge is

    Answer why there are capacitors in the photo instead of the diode bridge. And how the soldering iron will work from a constant. You had nothing to do with the campaign ...

    diodes on a network wire, capacitors to damp vibrations and equalize one wave, and yes the soldering iron, like any other heating element, can work from a constant voltage)

    I’ll take a note, I want to collect a similar one for low-power soldering irons, because they cost 50-60 rubles for us, and network costs 350-2200

    And tell me what power dimer did you use? And how many amperes are the diode bridge? Have you bought a ready-made diode bridge or soldered yourself?

    Why diodes? Can't do without them?

    I have had such a device for 5 years now, I made it from a regulator from a vacuum cleaner (2500W) and placed it all in the body of a bath outlet socket with a height of 5 cm, the one with a lid. There are many things to connect. And I bought a dimmer for a soldering iron (100W) for sconce, the issue price is 60 rubles. I crashed into a wire cut, everything is neat and beautiful. I and stations are unnecessary, just to buy them for the sake of an indicator or what?

    If you are wondering why they buy stations, then google to help. It is not only an indication, but also that you set the temperature at the station (provided that it is not the leftmost China).
